Dichomeris horoglypta is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1932.[1] It is found on the Japanese islands of Honshu, Shikoku and in Korea.[2]

The length of the forewings is 6–6.3 mm (0.24–0.25 in). The forewings are ochreous with dark fuscous streaks along the anterior margin, with a dark fuscous costal patch at three-fourths. There is also a dark fuscous S-shaped fascia along the dorsum, as well as two short blackish parallel streaks longitudinally.[3]

The larvae feed on Indigofera pseudotenctoria.
